We finally got our first look at Nintendo's next console! Referred to as or code named NX, Nintendo formally announces the Nintendo Switch Console.
The general rumors look to be true, the Switch seams to be a hybrid console or a mobile console. The 3 minute teaser embraces multiple play styles wherever you want. First focusing on traditional big screen home console play, pausing the game and playing there after anywhere you want on the mobile screen. They showed multiplayer between multiple Switch units or mobile screen sharing with left and right "Joy-Con" controllers. Nintendo looks to be carrying on the legacy of cartridges or "GameCards". The GameCards look very similar in size to a 3DS or DS card, so it's probably save to assume it's backwards compatible with at least 3DS games. Lastly Nintendo showed off it's 3rd party support, the Switch Dock, the Joy-Con Grip, the Switch Pro Controller, and a convenient little kickstand for table top non tv play.
I can't wait for more news on it, no price yet, but Nintendo is still aiming for a March 2017 release! For Switch images and other Nintendo new, click here.
